Speaking of that Affectionate Guy...

[AffectionateDan]

...I hear he'll be heading his wagons east pretty soon, driving across this great land of ours, crossing 12 states in the process. Anybody live along the path between Sacramento, California, and Albany, New York? (hint for the geographers out there; much of the drive will be along I-80E.) I know for a fact that towards the end of the journey, I go through Chicago and Cleveland.

Anybody wanna see this guy during his epic adventure? It'll take place starting the end of this month through the first week of August!

Wagons................ HO!

[AffectionateDan]

I betcha most of ya, like me, couldn't picture the route, so...

...here's a visual aide, to see if ya might be along the way! I know it looks long, but cut & paste this into your browser, and you'll see the MapQuest directions.

Whoa, that's nifty! The Forum takes all the dozen or so lines of text and compacted it into that little bitty link up there. Coolness!

 

[natural tickler]

Well, Danny Boy, you know I'm from Chicago, so lemme know wen you're close by, and we'll try to do something!!!

 

[General Zod]

If you can,bypass Chicago There is a lot of road construction on the lower part on I80

 

[AffectionateDan]

Thanks for the tip, Zod! I wonder if it'll still be that way in a month or so...

As the time gets closer, I'll be sure to keep you all posted, and thanks for the interest! Makes a guy feel all warm and fuzzy... oh, wait. 🙄

 

[isabeau]

hmm you could venture down into west virginny i mean west virginia..

 

[AffectionateDan]

Awwwwwww, that's sweet, Izzy, but looking at the map, it looks like that "little" detour would be about 10-12 hours out of the way!

Oh yes If there isn't road work on I80 on the south side of Chicago,then there's road work just across the border in Gary on I80 If you are just passing through the area,I reccomend doing so before 5am

Thanks again! But, now I have to hurt you... see, you said "south side of Chicago"... so anyone care to guess what's stuck in my head now? 🙄

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

*sings* He's bad, bad, Leroy Brown....

 

[isabeau]

i would care to see..what is in the south side of chicago????

 

[lk70]

You can get Leroy Brown out of your head by singing The Night Chicago Died.


Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na....the night Chicago died.....brother what a night it really was....brother what a fight it really was....glory be!!!!!

does that help?

 

[venray]

Or...he could go with songs by the GROUP Chicago......

*Saturday...in the park...*

 

[AffectionateDan]

Hahahahaha! See, this is the stuff that makes this community kick so much ass!

i would care to see..what is in the south side of chicago????

Oh, Izzy... (*squares shoulders*) You see, it's like this... Well, the south side of Chicago is the baddest part of town. And if you go down there, you better just beware of a man named Leroy Brown. And that's all that I have to say about that!

does that help?

Well, it might have, but the problem is, that was in the EAST side of Chicago! Say, wasn't that the night when a man named Al Capone
tried to make that town his own? And he called his gang to war with the forces of the law?

*Saturday...in the park...*

I think is was just the 4th of July!

ooooooooooo i see..i thought the east part of chicago was the baddest, according to clark griswald...

 

[AffectionateDan]

LoL I dunno about that, but I DO know that you shouldn't stop and ask the locals for directions there!

 

[natural tickler]

to clarify....

there is no east side of Chicago, unless you wanna go in the lake....

the south side is not and the Rock means not the baddest side of town, the West side is

the only thing the south side has is the White Sox, and that's not saying much

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

Excuse me, sir? Do you know how to get to..... Hey! Wait a minute! I only wanted to ask....

Don't worry, though, Dan. I hear they're using tickle ray guns these days. And they work no matter how hard you are to tickle! 😛
